Enable wireless industrial communication via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi

Anybus Wireless Bolt - Ethernet 18-pin - White version

Item number AWB2001-B

The Anybus Wireless Bolt Ethernet 18-pin - White connects Ethernet-based machines to wireless networks via Bluetooth®, Bluetooth Low Energy, or Wi-Fi. Designed for multi-directional applications, it's ideal for establishing wireless connections with roaming machines, such as AGVs or control cabinets from any angle.

Features and benefits

  • Low total cost of ownership

    Thanks to the integrated design of the antenna and communication module, there's no need for additional antenna or accessory purchases.

  • High-speed, roaming, dual network bridging  

    Provides fast roaming (IEEE 802.11r) and high link speeds (IEEE 802.11n). Simultaneous Bluetooth and Wireless LAN operation allows bridging between the two networks for enhanced connectivity.

  • Designed for multi-directional applications    

    Ideal for establishing wireless connections to roaming machines, such as AGVs, or to control cabinets from any angle.  

  • Easy access to data 

    Wirelessly connect to the Anybus Bolt and easily access the machine or cabinet. Configure the PLC or machine without halting or hindering production.  

  • Quick start up and high determinism   

    Ideal for connecting field-level devices that require short start-up times and high determinism.   

  • All-in-one wireless communication    

    All-in-one package featuring a connector, communication processor, and integrated antenna in the same unit. Use the same connector (2x9pPlug Connector) for both power and communication. 

  • Supports Industrial Ethernet, TCP, & UDP protocols  

    Communicates over Industrial Ethernet, supporting protocols such as BACnet/IP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, as well as all TCP and UDP-based protocols. 

  • Industrial design   

    Withstands harsh environments due to its IP66/67-rated enclosure and wide operating temperature range. Choose the white top Sunbolt option for 30% better protection against higher temperatures.  

  • Easy to install 

    Attach the Wireless Bolt directly onto cabinets or machines to look like an integrated part of the installation. Or use the Bolt Base Protector mounting kit to install it on a pole, wall, or similar.   

  • Easy to configure    

    Establish a wireless connection in seconds thanks to the intuitive web-based interface. 

  • Insights into your network   

    The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides configuration and diagnostic capabilities, offering greater control and insight into your network.   

  • Perfect together!  

    Fully compatible with Anybus Wireless Bridge, a wireless product designed for point-to-point applications, enabling you to implement comprehensive wireless infrastructure.
